New Exhibition at Il-Ħaġar Museum

The Gozo Philatelic Society has set up a new exhibit in their showcase on level-1 at Il-Ħaġar (Pjazza San Gorg - Victoria), in preparation for a public lecture being organized on 19 May based on a 1886 letter to Alexandria.This temporary exhibition consists of vintage letters sent to or received from North African addresses. Being so old (even as far back as the first decade of the nineteenth century), they carry interesting postal markings and also highlight aspects of social history. It should be noted that these are further items from the Juncker Malta collection donated to the GPS.Opening hours are 9am-5pm seven days a week – and there is no entrance fee.
